Yes, please come this way. Have you separated burnable trash and plastic bottles?
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up the trash (e.g., a drink bottle, snack wrapper), polite slight bow.
Only throw away trash purchased from that specific store if possible, especially if it's a small amount. Always separate burnables, recyclables, and plastic bottles as requested. Do not bring in large bags of external trash.
